China unveils new neuromorphic chip as it aims for AI dominance
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF The future of AI rests on two development tracks, the development of new software and new hardware, and both are powering ahead. Interested in the Exponential Future? Connect, download a free E-Book, watch a keynote, or browse my blog. Back in the 90’s, if you remember those, seeing someone...
Supercomputer on a fingernail, artificial synapse ushers in new AI revolution
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF There is nothing on Earth like the human brain, even today’s AI doesn’t come close, but now researchers have created an Artificial Synapse that’s 200 million times faster than a human synapse, and one day it will revolutionise AI and computing. Researchers at the...
MIT’s new artificial synapse brings “Brain on a chip” hardware closer
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Computer chips that can learn by themselves will revolutionise Artificial Intelligence and let us create machines are that genuinely “intelligent.” For those working in the field of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) getting a computer to simulate how the human brain works is a gargantuan...
Computing at light speed, Princeton creates the worlds first photonic neural net
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Neuromorphic chips that mimic how the human brain operates and carries out tasks still rely on silicon, moving to optical, or light, based computing will make them much faster, letting them process information multiple times faster than todays most advanced chips. Neural networks are...
Apple, emerging technology and the iPhone that could be
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF I take a look at the exciting Emerging Technologies that Apple could put into the next iPhone – but probably haven’t. Today there are no fewer than ten multi trillion dollar trends coming down the line – from the Connected Home and the Internet of Everything to Autonomous Vehicles,...
Samsung uses IBM’s brain chip to build a digital eye
IBM’s TrueNorth, a cognitive “neuromorphic” computing chip whose architecture resembles that of the human brain – although it switches neurons for transistors, is being trialled by Samsung to improve the Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS) in their next generation gadgets, essentially helping them to build the equivalent of a digital eye that is far...
Knupath unveils a new Machine Learning chip architecture
Ex-NASA Chief Dan Goldin has revealed his company KnuEdge, which develops neural chips that follow the principles of the human brain and produces voice recognition and authentication technology It’s not all that easy to call KnuEdge a startup. Created a decade ago by Daniel Goldin, the former head of the National Aeronautics and...
